Identify species

[Vali]

Can anybody tell what this is? It is located in central Romania. I hope the quality of the pictures is good enough

 

[Forsoothe!]

It strangely looks like an Acer negundo, which means there might be a wormhole to North American where you found it!

 

[Vali]

That would take a very lively worm

However, wikipedia says it is considered invasive in Hungary. That is not that far away.

 

[Forsoothe!]

Either that or the biggest poison ivy I've ever seen...

 

[just.wing.it]

Yeah. We call it Box Edler.....its a weed.

Acer negundo is probably grown as a landscape tree right round the world because it is so tough. It is also considered a weed over here and I pull hundreds out of garden beds every year.

Thank you all for your help. I think I will air layer a part of it, see what I can do with it

 

[Vali]

Hello again. I have another unknown species (for me). I would be grateful for your help, once again

 

[Forsoothe!]

Forsythia. Look for hollow stems.

Forsythia. Look for hollow stems.

I don't think it is a forsythia. It's only flowers are small like the ones you can barely see in the photos and they appeared after the leaves. The stems are not hollow

Nope not Forsythia, its Euonymus europaeus - Spindle tree!

 

[Vali]

its Euonymus europaeus - Spindle tree!

It really fits the description. Thanks a lot. I would have never found it on my own

 

[Forsoothe!]

Ah so....

 

[Vali]

Could you help me with another one? I thought it is a cryptomeria, but I would like to know for sure because it seems to be doing great in my garden. The last image was taken in winter color

 

[Vali]

I added some photos ofthe trunk. I hope the quality of the pictures doesn't make it too hard

The last image was taken in winter color

Are you sure it's not dead? Check under the bark.

That picture was taken in february. The others were taken today. It stayed outside last winter, it even went through nights with lower temperatures than -20C.

I didn't look at the file names ;-) Now I know how this species looks like in Winter.

 

[Vali]

Yeah...it looks dead
